Contradictions

One of the things that I have struggled with are the things that appeared to be contradictions in the 12 step materials. It has taken me a long time (and still working on it) to come to terms with these contradictions.

How does one support their addicted loved one...... while not enabling?

How does one let go.....with love?

How does one find serenity.....whether the addict is still using or not?


I would like to invite some of those who have been working a strong program of recovery to share their experiences with these contradictions. Pick one of the topics and share your thoughts on it. Perhaps this can help some of the newcomers reconcile these issues in their own minds.

I don't know about the rest of you but I need a nice uplifting positive thread this morning.

gentle hugs
